In order to aid organisations in the adoption of enterprise architecture (EA) best practices, maturity models have been proposed in the literature. These models offer organisational roadmaps and assessment frameworks for increasing EA maturity. However, key questions concerning the implied meaning of the term maturity in the context of these models have been left unexplored by previous research. This research, aided by the field of organisational learning, offers new insights into the implied assumptions of current EA maturity models and offers initial concepts and constructs to guide the conceptualisation, construction and refinement of enterprise maturity models.

Ecological interface design allows the user to cope with three types of events: (a) familiar, (b) occasional, but anticipated and (c) unexpected. To cope with unexpected events, this theoretical framework recommends starting with an analysis of the work domain and the main technique is the abstraction hierarchy (AH). However, the time and effort required to produce one remains a challenge. One solution is to develop AHs for specific work domains in order to be reused. This article presents an analysis of 32 work domains that have been represented by an AH that were selected from a systematic literature review. The results show that 11 represent industrial domains, 22 have 5 levels of abstraction and 21 represent causal systems. The results allow researchers to reuse entirely or adapt AHs from these work domains and to direct HA development towards work domains that are not covered.

A management dashboard is a visual tool used by managers to monitor organizational performance. It involves displaying information about the state of the organization to decisionmaking. A management dashboard must thus enable the manager to obtain a veracious and complete mental representation of the state of a situation. The theoretical model of situational awareness (SA) characterizes this mental representation in three levels: perception, comprehension and projection. Decision-making relies heavily on the ability to anticipate the future state of the environment, which refers to the SA level of projection. This article aims to propose a management dashboard design approach to support not only the levels of perception and comprehension, but also projection.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
